Perhaps it was a moral victory, but the Michigan Wolverines wound up falling short against No. 3 Virginia on Tuesday in what can only be described as a huge missed opportunity. The nature of college basketball allows for early-season losses, but the Wolverines let a solid resume piece slip through their fingers in the second half.
To try to forget about this collapse, Michigan travels across the pond to face the Kentucky Wildcats in London. This is the second of three big matchups in the non-conference slate, so a win on Sunday seems even more important now to make sure the Wolverines can at least grab one solid victory this fall.
